Dani Olmo loan or purchase?
Reports he may not be registered by Barca
It’s a yes from me
No brainer
Olmo on loan would be great. Need another as well though
- Edited
absolutely should be in for olmo if he's available. he is a vertically inclined midfielder with a nose for goals.
I thought we were done with injury prone players
Olmo really stood out for me during the Euros. Would love him here.
In time we need to bring in a left sided attacker, a top tier striker, another playmaker, and a competition/ cover for Saka.
In the immediate future our priority is now to get a capable winger to replace Saka whilst he’s injured.
Kolo Muani may make sense for January. We need to be careful of adding any padders which bloat the squad in the long term. So a loan deal would make a lot of sense
If we can get Kudus this January that’d be good too
lorddulaarsenal we don’t need all those players. I think we just need two attackers.
In the meantime we need to establish where Nwaneri will play. His last appearance was as a 9 last week. Which makes sense given that 9 and L8 are our more debated positions. Either we prepare him for those, or we have him take some of the RW duties that have opened up now.
lorddulaarsenal West Ham want 100 mil for Kudus lol. It's close to impossible to buy from the PL in January bar special cases such as we had with Trossard. Almost all teams have a lot of money and no reason to sell
Olmo is terrific, but we desperately need another winger now. Mitoma would be my choice.
Mitoma would be great. Lookman too
Sorry been MIA the last month in newborn hell. I think the biggest issue in January other than it being traditionally difficult to do business in this window is that all of the players who move the needle for us are on teams either fighting for the title or CL qualification in their respective leagues or in a relegation battle. I’d love any of Isak, Marmoush, Barcola, Kvara, Lookman, or Cunha but why would their teams sell them right now when they need them desperately. Kudus or Mitoma might be a little more gettable but good luck negotiating with West Ham and Brighton- we’d be paying at least 1.5x their value. Olmo would be a great market opportunity that we should pounce on if he’s available but I think we also might have to make the difficult decision of if we really feel like we can do enough to stay in the title chase this year and if it’s worth it to potentially undercut our summer pursuit of longtime targets (Isak/Sesko and a winger like Barcola/Nico).
The timing of the big international tourneys last summer in the window where we really needed to strengthen our attack is very frustrating to me in retrospect. Other than maybe Olise, it’s tough to get too bent out of shape about any attackers of note that actually moved and that we missed out on. Those tourneys just paralyzed the market.

We should be doing absolutely everything we can to bring this guy in in January. £100m, £200m, it doesn't matter. Get this guy and we win the league, no question.
DiabyKungFu hmm, this bluesky looks good
Hmmm... Why am I skeptical about clicking the link, DKF?
